Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A device for spreading and separating twisted cable components comprising a pair of bars, each bar having at least two opposed like-spaced recesses wherein one of said bars has a smaller third recess adjacent and opposed to one of the other recesses on said bar and disposed to align with the adjacent recess of the other bar when said bars are in parallel unregistered relation, said bars being pivotally connected, with the recesses of each bar disposed adjacent and opposite to the recesses of the other bar when said bars are in parallel relation whereby when said bars are inserted between the components of a cable rotation of said bars with respect to each other to register said recesses spreads and separates one component of said cable from the remainder thereof.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
131 words
A device for spreading and separating twisted cable components comprising a pair of bars, each bar having at least two opposed like-spaced recesses wherein one of said bars has a smaller third recess adjacent and opposed to one of the other recesses on said bar and disposed to align with the adjacent recess of the other bar when said bars are in parallel unregistered relation, said bars being pivotally connected, with the recesses of each bar disposed adjacent and opposite to the recesses of the other bar when said bars are in parallel relation whereby when said bars are inserted between the components of a cable rotation of said bars with respect to each other to register said recesses spreads and separates one component of said cable from the remainder thereof.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
200 words
A device for spreading and separating twisted cable components comprising first and second bars, each of said bars having at least two opposed recesses, a third bar having two recesses opening through the same edge of said bar and a third recess opening through the opposite edge of and intermediate said two recesses of the third bar, said intermediate recess and one of said opposed recesses in said third bar being spaced the same as the distance between recesses in the first bar and said intermediate recess and the other opposed recess of said third bar being spaced the same as the distance between recesses in said second bar, said first and second bars each being pivotally connected to the third bar on opposite sides thereof and intermediate different recesses on said third bar with recesses of said first and second bar disposed adjacent and opposed to the intermediate recess of said third bar when said bars are in parallel relation whereby when said bars are inserted between components of a cable, rotation of said first and second bars with respect to said third bar to register said recesses spreads and separates two of said components from the remainder thereof.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
200 words
A device for spreading and separating twisted cable components comprising first and second bars, each of said bars having at least two opposed recesses, a third bar having two recesses opening through the same edge of said bar and a third recess opening through the opposite edge of and intermediate said two recesses of the third bar, said intermediate recess and one of said opposed recesses in said third bar being spaced the same as the distance between recesses in the first bar and said intermediate recess and the other opposed recess of said third bar being spaced the same as the distance between recesses in said second bar, said first and second bars each being pivotally connected to the third bar on opposite sides thereof and intermediate different recesses on said third bar with recesses of said first and second bar disposed adjacent and opposed to the intermediate recess of said third bar when said bars are in parallel relation whereby when said bars are inserted between components of a cable, rotation of said first and second bars with respect to said third bar to register said recesses spreads and separates two of said components from the remainder thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The device of claim 2 including means to fasten said bars in a registered position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
The device of claim 2 in which said third bar has a nub on each side thereof, and each of said first and second bars has a depression therein which nubs and depressions are disposed to interlock when said recesses register.
